A surprising decision; maybe it's a turf thing - possibly they resented local officials taking the law into their own hands, so they affirmed their own authority despite their sympathy for the cause.

Here's a novel idea to get this on the fast track to the U.S. Supreme Court:
Two HETEREOsexuals......either a pair of men or pair of women....get married in CA, then immediately go to Reno to get a quickie divorce. They no doubt will be denied because Nevada would not allow them a divorce. They then file a suit in NV claiming they were denied their rights to a divorce. Bingo!...direct to the USSC.....then all action in all states comes to a screeching halt until USSC rules. Gay couples are not going to do this, so it has to be a pair of heteros. Any comments?
